a cross between a grapefruit and a mandarin
A tangelo is a hybrid created by crossbreeding pomelos and tangerines. Like tangerines, they are sweet and easy to peel. There are many commercially grown tangelo varieties and the best known in the United States is the Minneola.
A cross between a tangerine and the pomelo. This fruit contains only a few seeds and provides a juicy, sweetly tart taste.
The tangelo is a citrus fruit that is a hybrid of any mandarin orange, popularly known as a tangerine, and either a pomelo or a grapefruit. It may have originated in Southeast Asia over 3,500 years ago. The fruits look like good-sized, oblong oranges and have a tangerine taste, but are very juicy, to the point of not providing much flesh but producing excellent and plentiful juice.
